"And God Created Woman"

First of all, this is imo one of the best tracks on the
o(+> album.

Second, I've been thinking about it for quite a while
now and I don't think it's a coincidence that there is
also a Brigitte Bardot movie by the same name.

Given the fact that on the previous album he was on a
"Barbarella" trip and even mentioned it in the segue on
the o(+> album again.

Fonda and Bardot, both stunners, blond, nice tits lol

Anywho, for those interested in the movie, here's a small
review:



AND GOD CREATED WOMAN FILM REVIEW


And the Devil created Brigitte Bardot, according to the producers of this lightweight vehicle, for the charms of its famous blonde seductress

Before every new, attractive French actress was labelled The New Bardot, there was the real Bardot, and with And God Created Woman she began her rise towards becoming France's greatest sex symbol.

The film's minimal plot centres on Bardot's 18-year-old Juliette, whose flings have caused controversy in her village. Let down by her partner Antoine (Marquand), who promised to move away with her, Juliette nonetheless marries his younger brother and they all wind up living in the same house. But Juliette's admirers, including her rich, older lover Eric Carradine (J?) begin to cause trouble for her.

Director Roger Vadim's marriage to Bardot at the time obviously helped him in conveying her sensuality, but at the expense of any plot. Were it not for Bardot, there would have been nothing to fill the widescreen composition here, and even she is hardly stretched to any acting. But by capturing Bardot's charm on camera, Vadim makes the audience as complicit in her seductive appeal as the men who fawn over her in the film, culminating in her famous impassioned and un-self-conscious mambo-dancing scene.


Verdict
Although this was far from her first film, and hardly scandalous by today's standards, And God Created Woman cemented Bardot's appeal, leaving box office records and movie taboos shattered in its path.



I wonder if Prince ever met either of them in person???

This song is, quite simply, one of the best songs Prince has ever recorded.

Beautiful track, in my top five on the prince album. His falsetto is priceless as is the jazzy feel of the song. Excellent track!

That's probably because it's the most timeless track on
the album and seems to be age best of all of them.

Nice breezy jazzy tune.

HEY!

I was just playin' it at work, and thinking how under-rated the "symbol" album is.

ALSO:
Love 2 the Nines
MOrning Papers
Damn U
and yes
3 Chains O' Gold

Sexy MF woulda' been SLAMMIN' if Prince had sung the lines, instead of his Ice T voice... Or maybe layered the rap back in the mix with a sung part.

Peace.'

Same here. Over time, the ballads have really become favorites from the prince album for me.

And God Created Woman
The Morning Papers
Damn U
Sweet Baby

All of them beautiful, perfect songs.
